Profile:

Born and raised in Victoria, Brad Williams burst on to the first-class scene as a 19-year old in the 1994-95 season. He was raw both in build and experience but, even at that stage, was touted as a potential star. His blistering pace set him apart from most club bowlers and encouraged some to think that he might even be an automatic selection for his country within a few years. Prior to Brett Lee's emergence, he was even considered the quickest paceman in Australian first-class ranks. Yet that tag initially served as something of a poisoned chalice; in 24 matches with the Vics, he claimed 70 wickets at an average of only marginally below 40 runs per success.

It was a relocation to Western Australia at the start of the 1999-2000 season which ensured that things ultimately moved in the right direction for Williams. Looking as strong and as fit (if maybe not quite as sharp in pace) as he ever had done previously, the blond-headed speedster became a revitalised bowler. Rhythm, control, steepling bounce and hostility (from his familiar aggressive run-up and action) all returned in abundance and the prospect of facing him rarely became one to warm the heart of his opponents. A total of 50 wickets came in his debut first-class season with the Warriors and he closed off the summer with a brilliant haul of 6/19 that ensured that his new club Scarborough was crowned Perth's first grade premier. Although the following season again became blighted by injury, he now looks like assuming a mantle as Western Australia's spearhead for a number of years into the future. (John Polack, August 2001)
